:o

I'm going to be unpopular. :D

Saying that... set 4 aside for me! Only joking I only want one for my sons system. Should fit well in his Corsair Air 240 case:) I'm also tempted to buy one for myself so I can have a play around with it:) I really would like to know how Premiere CC would handle rendering with it too.

My concern with amd and this review nda feels a little off. If something doesn't feel right, it normally isn't right. It's a bit like game DEVS not allowing reviews to go out before release of a game. In the last year or so, we've seen in a lot of those cases, the game has been pretty poor. To me, this feels similar, are AMD just hoping they can shift masses of cards on hype alone. I want one as I'm moving from older cards than a lot of you, but I'm not prepared to get caught up in obvious price gouging from retailers on a product what have yet to see the full SP on. Hate analogys and all that, but do we ever buy something expensive without trying it on, driving it, using it, playing it etc?? If they are over £600 today, I'll sit back and watch how things go.

I'm stuck with Nvidia due to my Gsync monitor, but I'm tempted by the Fury X still! The only drawback for me is the closed water loop. I want the ability to put my own waterblock on that matched my system. Oh well...

I would wait for the reviews today to find out for sure. I'd also wait a few weeks as I heard retailers are putting a £100 premium on first batch cards.
a lot of freesync monitor being released lately, sure you can find one that suits you.
and can't you just add the furyX to the loop ? you ditch the Rad that comes with the card and connect it to your loop( never had a loop setup before, so am just shooting blind here, but thought it was kinda simple)

Price gauging is a part of commercialism I'm afraid. If you can't beat them, join them! Buy some OCUK price gauged stock then sell on ebay for silly ebay prices like the EVGA 980 Ti hydro Copper which is going for over 1k on ebay, 750 here and 630 from EVGA.

From what I have seen it doesn't look like something you can ditch easily and there are no waterblocks for the cards yet anyways. Also I don't want to buy another monitor... I'm happy with the one I have which my wife bought be for Christmas.

I've also just spent 4k on a build... you can see some of the stuff I bought on the watercooling forum here! I'll post a full list and pictures when it all arrives. Most will be here this week and some will be here when OCuk get their arses into gear and get the stock in;)
